Other Facilities

All facilities except for the Medical Office Buildings and their parking garages are patrolled by ESJH Public Safety Officers 24/7. The hospital has four primary entrances with open access from 6 am to 9 pm. During emergency situations such as a Pandemic Event, access may be restricted and/or accessible via ID badge only to employees, authorized contractors, and students. Visitors arriving after 9 pm are directed to the Emergency Department, where a Public Safety Officer is stationed and required to sign-in. All access/exit doors are controlled via door contacts and part of the Access Control System monitored by Public Safety Staff. The locksmith vendor (Academy Lock and Key) is responsible for maintaining logs of all keys manufactured for hospital staff. Keys are not given to students. All Life Safety devices such as smoke detectors and emergency exit signs are checked quarterly by ACE Technologies and records are maintained in the Facilities Support/Engineering Department. Engineering service requests related to lighting in parking garages, walkways, and interior of hospital are entered in AIMS (service request database) and work is completed by the Engineering staff or assigned to a contractor. Public Safety Officers assigned to conduct patrols are responsible for reporting outages at least bi-weekly to the Engineering Department.

A variety of security awareness programs designed to inform students and/or employees about campus security procedures and practices and to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others are provided each year. All new hospital employees receive a security/safety in-service as part of their orientation to EHC. This orientation is part of a 2-day mandatory orientation. Continued security/safety education is required annually as part of EHC employee evaluation process. Security/safety tips and information are published in the hospital newsletter and intranet. There are no crime prevention programs targeted to students on this campus. All students arriving as part of an internship program receive the same training as a new employee.
